The most distinctive movie soundtracks, at least in instrumental terms, are for me the type in Italian thrillers/horrors of the 1970s/80s, Goblin especially. I've often got pieces from Dario Argento's Deep Red swirling around in my head to accompany certain mooRAB. Tenebrae comes a close second, Inferno too although Keith Emerson's keyboard thunderings may not be what purists of the genre would exactly call authentic.

Another (I presume) Italian who deserves a mention is Pino Donaggio, whose terrifyingly beautiful scores in Carrie and Dressed To Kill were as much of a character in the films as the protagonists.

Kudos too to the above poster's inclusion of Keoma - there's nothing quite like a gothic musical spaghetti western - in fact, were there any others besides that sublime little entry?
